DogeDesigner(@cb_doge):SpaceX wins FCC approval to use extended L-band spectrum outside the USA. This is part of the FCC’s broader approval for SpaceX’s constellation of up to 15,000 Direct-to-Cell satellites. This gives SpaceX more spectrum options for international satellite mobile services. The additional spectrum could increase capacity and help connect more compatible devices in remote areas, supporting messaging, voice and data beyond the reach of cell towers. The authorization covers two 7 MHz blocks: 1518–1525 MHz for satellite-to-Earth signals and 1668–1675 MHz for Earth-to-satellite signals. Another step toward expanding Starlink’s mobile connectivity worldwide.
